Gov. Beverly Perdue's schedule in New York was "grueling," a spokeswoman said in explaining why Perdue was too busy to review and sign a letter supporting health care.
The adjective begs the question, so Dome requested her schedule for that day. The names of those she met with have been removed because state law considers companies considering a move to the state confidential.
Here's the schedule:
8:30 a.m. Depart RDU
10:10 a.m. Arrive Teterboro Airport (TEB)
10:10 a.m. Travel to NYC
11:15 a.m. - 11:45 a.m. Client Meeting
11:45 a.m.- 12:30 p.m. Meeting/Financial Services Seminar
12:30 p.m. - 1 p.m. Visit New York Stock Exchange Trading Floor
1 p.m. - 2 p.m. Travel to Hotel and Check-in, Lunch
2 p.m. - 3 p.m. Travel to Client meetings outside of city
3 p.m. - 5 p.m. Client Meetings
5 p.m. - 6 p.m. Travel back into city
6:30 p.m. - 8:30 p.m. Site Selection Consultants Event

Re: Grueling defined
So why should the names of the companies the Governor is meeting with be a secret? My understanding was that this was simply a recruiting trip not specific negotiations for an economic development deal which under existing law can be hidden from the public. If the Governor is going to the Big Apple and dangling barrels of taxpayer money in front of NY financial companies in an effort to lure them to NC, why isn't the press all over this? Were any of the representatives of these companies political contributors to the Governor's campaign? Guess we can't find out if we aren't told who she met with.
